The featured image was taken in front of the Northern Lights Lounge on W Baltimore Street. The easiest way to get there is to drive. You can park your car along the street and then walk up to the front of the lounge.

Night
As long as it's not snowing, you can get a similar image year round at the Northern Lights Lounge.
To get the full effect of the illuminated lights, I suggest visiting at night.
Field tips
By using a wide-angle lens (25mm) you can incorporate the neon signs and the exterior of the bar.
The surrounding is quite dark, so I recommend bringing a tripod for better lighting control.
If there's a car in your frame, try incorporate it into your shot. You can also wait until there aren't any cars on the street so you have an unobstructed view of the bar.
